While it is true that oil is a product of decomposed organic material, that doesn’t mean that it is exclusively composed of dead plants and animals. In fact, the majority of oil is composed of microorganisms, such as bacteria, which can create oil and gas through anaerobic decomposition of organic material.
Furthermore, while it is true that oil is a finite resource, the amount of oil produced by an organism is not an accurate measure of the total amount of oil available in the world. The amount of oil that can be extracted from the ground is dependent on a variety of factors, such as the depth at which the oil is located and the amount of pressure present. Therefore, it is inaccurate to make assumptions about the total amount of oil available based solely on the amount of oil produced by a single organism. A more honest measurement would not be “meters per goat” as it does not accurately reflect the total amount of oil available in the world.
